Implementation Considerations
• Assess the current CAD landscape, including legacy systems, data quality, and downstream dependencies.
• Define the target deployment model, including standalone usage, integrated data management, or broader PLM alignment.
• Plan migration and reuse strategies for existing CAD assets, templates, and standards.
• Standardize drafting, modeling, and collaboration practices to improve consistency across teams.
• Align training and adoption plans to engineering roles, manufacturing workflows, and future scaling needs.
